Found this paper from early Dec (attached).

EU based and centred around their project / research however found this chart, which I hadn't seen before, with some neuromorphic players.

The authors don't dissect or discuss these, just presented in the chart.

Data may or may not be dated as reference to two papers, one from 2017 and one from 2022. Haven't gone an source checked yet.

If I'm reading right, seems we holding our own pretty well though thanks

Here’s a cool video from Qualcomm posted 2 weeks ago about “The Edge Of Possible” and AI.
There’s even a part in the video where somebody gets in the car and it recognises him and then the car drives for you

 

[Schnitzel lover]

Same peeps I was telling it was a screaming buy at 3c-10c eventually they caved and bought @ 17.5 -18 c
All of them including friends only concentrate on the share price and have basically zero regard how it got there.
LoL I'm a sucker for punishment. One day they might open their eyes.

I do both.. The better the chart setup, the more energy I put into the Company fundamentals and any related news or trend thematics.. Been following BRN since early 2018 so have a good
understanding of the company and what it’s trying to achieve..

It’s good to get better at both TA and FA. The TA doesn’t lie if you learn the supply and demand in chart patterns, but the hype of company hope often lies.. The potential is here with BRN. I would say chart wise it matches perfectly with the story..

I’m watching for a decent base over 2023 into 2024 towards $2-2.30 again.

That gives you 2 years of consolidation from the early 2022 peak which marrys up with previous bases before big moves, then 2024-2026 is your potential 1000% plus leadership move.. There’s a 150% move potential in the next 12months, but the potential mega move after that to align with explosive earnings growth when the trends of power saving Neuromorphic edge processing markets take the slack off data-intensive, bandwidth clogged data conduits.

Look for the early signals as posted in those charts and it will save you a lot of stress and cortisol production, and give you more time to focus on what you enjoy…

But see the problem with a disruptive ubiquitous unparalleled company like Brainchip, they could at any moment announce multiple things that can move the market really high, so while charts do provide a good guide, I have a feeling that Brainchip is going to blow the charts away second half of 2023 and Mercedes, Valeo to name a couple in the automotive industry will have their 2024 models released with Lidar and infotainment system at the very least containing akida IP, and all that would be going into production just after mid 2023.

I just know I would much rather be in, than out
Look what happened January 2022, the EQXX was released, and we shot up to over $2.30 intraday, now anything can be released again this year as multiple customers/partners of ours will be at CES, truly exciting times!

Would I be correct in saying that if Akida's IP was going to be released at CES by a customer / partner, then shouldn't that be price sensitive and a BRN ASX Co announcement should be made immediately upon such knowledge.

I would assume so but I’m more referring to another customer announcing we are partners like you hat happened with Mercedes back in January.

Remember the May West line well it’s time to bring it into the age of Science Fiction:

“Howdy stranger. Is that an AKIDA USB Stick in your pocket or are you just spiked to meet me?”

 

[VictorG]

Going on our Mercedes experience I doubt a price sensitive announcement would be required unless the Partner press release included sales forecasts, release dates and projected royalties for BRN.

 

[robsmark]

Would I be correct in saying that if Akida's IP was going to be released at CES by a customer / partner, then shouldn't that be price sensitive and a BRN ASX Co announcement should be made immediately upon such knowledge.

Not necessarily. It all depends on the agreement in place with the client. At the time of product release, Brainchips job is long complete and the milestone is on the client. This is the unfortunate part of IP, or any component sales that aren’t customer facing. It’s down the the client to decide whether or not they want to acknowledge Brainchips implementation, and I would say given how small we are, most won’t. Eventually I would expect this to change and Brainchips presence to be a selling point, much like Intel Inside on many computers.

I am trying not to get too excited about next week's CES but it's hard not to!

Lot's happening as detailed in the below link. Seems like Infotainment and Lidar are big items this year, sounds pretty 'sweet' to me

Hi @chapman
I agree with your view but would if I were expressing it moderate it with the understanding that overall world wide market sentiment is far more subdued now than it was when Mercedes Benz revealed they had joined the Cult of AKIDA.

This overall depressed market sentiment will dampen every market market response to some extent even the recording of income in a 4C.

All the balls around the World have had a little bit of air removed and will not bounce as high as they might have twelve months ago in my opinion.

The facts however keep mounting up and the inevitable nature of the Brainchip success story is playing out to perfection.

My opinion only DYOR

AKIDA BALLISTA

Very true.

One hypothetical that might come into play is for example, if the markets turn around mid 2023 and Putin comes to the table and negotiates a cease fire (not likely unless Ukraine hand over territory) then by mid 2023 we (Brainchip) would have had revenue, more partnerships being revealed, a contract possibly announced in that time, Renesas finish taping out, megachips have taped out, then I can envision a “bull” run happening with brn, because as you rightly say that the facts keep mounting up and the inevitable nature of Brainchips success keeps playing out, a perfect storm you could call it.

Hi Dave, half of this list of exhibiters, if not more, attending CES 23, could potentially be BRN customers. The mind really boggles.
Team Brainchip must be very excited. I know I am.

Morphic resonance:

Just had an ephemeral web feed which showed that Nvidia, Qualcomm, and TSMC are all down about 50% from a year ago.

Oooh-Ooooh-Oooh! Check this out Brain Fam! Here's Arnie Shwarznegger on an Instagram post from BMW. The short video features Arnie talking to "Dee" the new BMW voice assistant. I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest (IMO) that this voice control technology may incorporate our very own AKIDA. All will be revealed at CES 2023!

Absolutely at some point it will happen as you have described it is in my opinion as certain as DNA determining whether one is bright or thick as three planks.

World events cannot be ignored for two reasons.

1. The first being bleeding obvious.

If someone decided to nuke someone all bets would be instantly cancelled. This is the ultimate negative event but below this are many things that will create significant impacts with China Taiwan being one of many.

2. The second more subtle event is the fact that all Reserve Banks are campaigning day and night with the singular intent to hose down market enthusiasm across every economic sector.

The negative impact on the psychology of retail investors cannot be overstated.

I suspect the negativity from friends and relatives that some have spoken of here is in part proof of this concerted campaign by regulators.

In the end however the inevitable will be what it is ‘INEVITABLE’.

This is not a certainty voice control technology is entirely possible without AKIDA it is a question of power budgets and how much you are prepared to devote to it.
